I am male and have HSV-1 genital
Since I started researching about HSV I am aware of tones of statistics concernig transmission.
Does anybody have citation or facts about odds to transmit
HSV-1 genital to oral if partner has already aquired HSV-1 genital,
HSV-1 genital to genital if partner has already aquired HSV-1 orally? Or are the odds the same since the body produced antibodies anyway and the origion of infection doesn't matter?
HSV-1 genital during outbreak (unnoticed) to non infected Oral
HSV-1 genital during outbreak (unnoticed) to non infected genital
HSV-1 genital during outbreak (unnoticed) to oral if partner already aquired HSV-1 genital
I would appreciate and facts, odds, or transmsission rates or estimates. I am collecting any kind of data to clearify and gain a better understanding.
Thanks already
Futher I also read that 25% of HSV-1 genetal positves dont shed at all times. (Only about one quarter of people with genital HSV- 1 shed virus at all in the absence of symptoms, while 55% of people with HSV-2 do (Wald, New England Journal of Medicine, 1995).
Is that true(havent seen many statements like that) and how can that be confirmed since you cant test for asymptomic viral sheeding, can you?
I though statistic on viral shedding originate from studies of transmitting chances b/w outbreaks.
Thank you
